Multi-analytical data of Tibetan initiation cards from the Zhangzhung Nyengyu tsakali collection

This dataset presents the multi-analytical results of pigment analysis from six Tibetan initiation cards in the <em>Zhangzhung Nyengyü Tsakali</em> collection. The color palette was determined through qualitative analysis using scanning wide-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), Raman spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and fiber optic reflectance spectroscopy (FORS).

According the to CSMC´s standardised system for the labelling of analytical data, all measurements are listed in an electronic lab notebook (<strong>01_Tsakali_ELN</strong>) and documented in a protocol (<strong>02_Tsakali_Protocol)</strong>.

The raw and evaluated data, along with a summary file, can be found in the respective methods folders (<strong>XRD</strong>, <strong>XRF</strong>, <strong>Raman</strong>, <strong>FTIR</strong>, and <strong>FORS</strong>).
